The rain cleared this afternoon so we made the most of the opportunity and went to the Nature Reserve, amazingly the boys don't complain about how often we go there! We remembered to take their welly boots this time so they were delighted to be able to wade in the streams and dangle their feet in the duck pond.

We're all well and seem to be missing the worst of the inter illnesses. Apparently Somerset West is South Africa's hotspot for swine flu, no crackling on the line here yet. Joel & Eli are thriving, as are we. Church life is good and we're really excited about what God is doing and how we're being used.

This blog has taken a bit of a back set to Facebook so to those of you not on Facebook we can only apologise and suggest you get yourselves over there for shorter but more regular updates.

Nooooo not facebook... I signed up there a few weeks ago to see what the fuss was about, and really I still can't see what the fuss was about... would rather read a blog any day, in fact I'm in the middle of writing a blog about how I can't see why facebook is so popular!!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, we really appreciate it!
